Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1770

Keaton hesitated for only a second before typing back: [Yes! I am!]

Shane: [Is this just a passing phase?]

Keaton decided on absolute honesty: [I don't know what the future holds, but I know how deeply I feel for her right now.]

Shane: [Winona has already been through enough heartbreak. If you're just looking for a fling, do us all a favor and stay away from her!]

Keaton frowned, silent for a few seconds before he responded.

[I am betting my life on these feelings. If this is just a phase, and I ever do her wrong, I will end myself.]

[Screenshot this and keep it as evidence. If that day ever comes, you can throw these exact words in my face.]

A few minutes passed before Shane finally replied.

[If you're truly serious about her, then I support you. Good luck! Let me know if you need an inside man.]

Staring at the screen, Keaton couldn't suppress the wide grin spreading across his face.

It was the oldest trick in the book: if you want to win a guy over, start by taking care of the girl he loves.

Ever since he discovered Shane was Winona's cousin, he had been trying to get on his good side.

Thanks to their rocky start, Shane had wanted nothing to do with him.

But the second Keaton pulled some strings to fly Linda out from Europe, reuniting the young couple, the kid's attitude had pulled a complete one-eighty!

Keaton quickly typed back. "Thanks for the support, Shane."

In the car, Shane stared at his screen in disbelief.

The sheer audacity of this guy! He wasn't even dating Winona yet!

Catching the bizarre look on his face, Linda nudged him. "What's wrong?"

Winona and Caroline turned to look at him as well, their eyes full of concern.

Shane cleared his throat awkwardly. "Nothing."

Assuming he was stressed about the situation with his mother's resting place, Caroline offered a comforting look.

"Don't you worry about a thing. You've got me here. I won't let the Gould family lay a finger on you."

Shane offered a faint smile. "I know."
